This mindset right here:

So, I'll continue posting on Steemit as I have been for the last 15 years. It's the only way I know how. At the end of the day, it's really very simple. You will only enjoy Steemit if you're having fun. Money has little to do with it.

Is, I feel, completely spot on when it comes to what will make Steemit successful - people whom genuinely have a good time and enjoy doing what they do whilst having fun. The opportunity of being rewarded for quality content extremely generously compared to other platforms should moreover add further incentive for content creators to give Steemit an honest shot.
